Adding [home] link to Gallery

Ron Van Scherpe pointed me to how to add a [home] link to gallery. I think they call these bread crumbs probalby because they leave a trail of bread crumbs as in the old Hansel and Grettle story. Basically one needs to add:

/* home breadcrumb start */
if (strcmp($pAlbum->fields["returnto"], "no")) {
   $breadtext[$breadCount] ="<a href=\"/\">[Home]</a>";
   $breadCount++;
}
/* home breadcrumb end */

to view_album.php in your Gallery directory approximately at:

} while ($pAlbumName);
/* INSERT IT HERE */
//-- we built the array backwards, so reverse it now ---

This added a link to all albums however the main page lacks the link. Then I found this and decided to go that way. It took a little bit of time to realize I could include my site-functions.php and use my copyright function for the footer. Still don't like the bland Home link at the top but will work on this later.

How to display your web site logo on the address bar and in the favorites list

Finally implemented a web site icon for my web site. Check it out! Note sure if I want to keep this one though.

Note that this apparently does not work correctly in IE.

The PhoneBOT.com

Been trying out a new telephony product from ThePhoneBOT.com. It's pretty cool in that it has a plugin for Trillian such that when I get a message at home it IM's me! It also has a webserver component so I can view my voicemail anywhere with a browser! There are still some problems and challenges however and I'm trying to work these out first before purchasing the product.

Palm

Got a Palm Pilot M130 from Stuart the other day and have been trying to get the new PalmSync from Thunderbird's addressbook to the Palm working. Still not working correctly though.

WebDAV

Finally got WebDAV running on my box. I tried a urmpi mod_webdav and it attempted to download what was necessary and install it but it had problems installing it. So I downloaded it manually and used rpm to install it. Worked. Needed to do some config of it. Got it working! Then got Mozilla Calendar finally working with remote calendars!

Psychic Flash Movie and other goodies

Here's some internet goodies. The first one tricks people into believing that the flash movie can read their mind. The second one takes a picture of the person using their computer monitor!
